My final entry in this top ten list of great contemporary
business speakers is a sentimental favorite: Sir Ken Robinson.
Robinson is passionately devoted to spreading creativity around, first in
education, and then in the rest of human endeavor. I’m wholeheartedly with him on this project; it’s a
life-long cause of mine too. He’s
written 2 books on the subject:
The Element (http://tinyurl.com/ycerpb6)
and Out of Our Minds: Learning to
be Creative (http://tinyurl.com/ydvfnlo).
Robinson gave a marvelous plea for creativity in schools and
more broadly in life at TED; you can see it here: http://tinyurl.com/mluw5k. The talk is funny, thoughtful, and
quite well-written in spite of appearing conversational and casual. It’s very well done. Check him out and get inspired.
Thank you for this series of speakers! So much inspiration, so many new windows on the world. I'll miss having the next one to look forward to.
